Cutting valve energy use by up to 80% in data centre cooling

In data centres, direct-to-chip liquid cooling relies on fast-acting valves to regulate coolant flow and protect servers from overheating. Yet across server racks operating 24/7, the cumulative energy demand of continuously energised solenoid valves presents cost and sustainability challenges. However, Kick & Drop coil technology offers a solution to this inefficiency by using a high-power ‘kick’ to actuate the valve, followed by a low-energy ‘drop’ to hold position. The design can...
